[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 3892738, member: 10638"] I've gotten a ton of use out of the background materials from the books, but my group flat out rebelled during the playtest and refused to play ever again if I ran the Conan RPG..so I whipped up about 10 house rules and we play SRD instead. You can't pay people to play it around here otherwise. The Road of Kings was fantastic as was a lot of the background material from the RPG, however the quality of work is, IMHO, not worth paying for..at all. See, those of us who "survived" 1E saw product after product of absolute crap and are a LOT GUN-SHY about purchasing Mongoose products. Hurried and slipshod I think is the term that I can best describe my opinion of the products. If the 2E is just more miniscule changes with a TSR-like-approach to updating things, thanks, I'll pass. Return to the road of kings might be worth picking up..but not until after I read/hear about 6 more reviews and that there 'actually' is a worthy amount of new stuff.. The things that I liked about 1E rules were: deadliness, dark and grittiness feel, and the "almost familiarity as a d20-sort-ofRPG." ironically, that's also what I completely detested about it. The changes from the d20SRD are not warranted, except perhaps for magic. They are just different enough to make your life a frustrating hell if miniscule changes..jsut to make changes..all in the name of "I think these stupid little changes must make it feel more like Hyboria.. Another thing I liked about 1E was that Vincent did help out. Although I want my money back on his Stygia product, he really knows his classical REH and that's a credit to the products. The maps...holy crap...how did Conan Properties not yank their license with the fiasco's that have occurred with these products? Have they even bothered to correct them for the 2E?
